INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the lime rice

Combine rice and 1 cup water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Stir in lime zest, just half the lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

2
Roast the vegetables

Move oven rack to middle and set oven to broil on high. Combine poblano, onion, corn, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt on baking sheet and toss. Broil until onions are translucent and peppers and corn are softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Leave oven on for next step. (TIPS: All broilers are different; watch closely to ensure veggies don’t burn. Wash hands and cutting board well after handling spicy peppers, and consider wearing gloves to avoid skin irritation.)

3
Make the avocado topping and warm the tortillas

Stir together avocado, scallion, remaining lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in medium bowl. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.

4
Serve

Lay tortillas on serving plates and add rice and roasted corn salsa. Dollop tacos with avocado topping and drizzle with hot sauce. ¡Buen provecho!
